Killian removes his clothing places it in the baskets provided, not one to be bashful stands at the sand pit before him facing the group hands on his hips "Hey Rumble, Just be confident with your self, the hardest part is just saying Hello after that everything is easy." Killian then turns and starts to figure out how to go about cleaning himself.

After the conversation dies down about Rumbles love life, Dark moves closer to him and says “I have seen you move and you have the strength and agility to fight anyway you choose. I will show you what I know but it is much more than moves. You need to anticipate the moves of your opponent. You can’t be a crossbow with an aim and fire. You must learn to use the force of your opponent against them. When they swing at you, don’t try to resist with force. Force without a target creates unbalance.” He bows his head and says somewhat to himself “yes .... teach him how to survive.”

Rumble makes sure to turn around and give Dark his fullest attention. The eagerness showing as clearly as his toothy smile was broad at the moment. After all was said and done however, his expression turned speculative. "You alright there, Mr. Dark?"He asks, and after receiving an answer starts scratching his chin in thought.
A minute passes... then almost two before Rumble nods firmly to Dark. "Ma used to say same thing. At least 'bout the part on anticipating my opponents bit more. Tho' when all else failed, she also said I'm too darn big and thick skinned to be afraid of taking a few hits, and Big Mama's got my back." He chuckled and shook his head. The chuckle quickly dies away. And soon after, Rumble hops to his feet and awkwardly bows to Dark.
"I can make it work. What's next?"He asks excitedly.

“Now is not the time. Make sure you see everything in the room when we have dinner with this “Lord”. Something you can practice at all times is feeling your own moment. When you are breathing, pay attention to what your body is doing. Try to focus on each muscle. Practice slowing down your breathing without anyone noticing. We will practice that together later.” Dark smiles and continues to scan the area for dangers and ways to escape.

Thursday chuckles a little bit at the conversation but seeing as its died down a little she interjects, "I wonder if this sand bath actually works, its kinda hard to imagine -- speaking of the dinner, do you think we should try and get some more presentable outfits? Surely, The Lord would understand if we came as is, but perhaps showing effort would make a favorable impact."

Rumble gives a firm nod, closes his eyes, suck in a deep breathe, and then... exhales. He repeats this several times before remembering he needed to calm his breathing, and focus on his muscles. "Wouldn't be a bad idea, but... Don't think we can afford much here Thursday. Tho' with any luck, this 'lord' feller won't mind all that much all things consider." He comments, and then facepalms and mutters "Focus, dumb, dumb."
Upon stepping cautiously into the sand, it is almost like sinking into a fine layer of silt. The 'bath' itself appears to be fairly shallow, so setup for people to seat themselves in. There is a strange swirling of sand beneath the upper layer, feeling like Jacuzzi bubbles.

The receptionist seems to be watching the pair of gents, Dark and Rumble, with interest and awe. It is most likely that the aarakocra has her attention since he is similar to one of their guardians, and a steel-skinned man is also quite an oddity in these parts.
Mara will relax in the sand once she finds a spot to a sit. Despite being in a city she will make sure to keep her Mage Armor up, having learned in her time in this strange place to never let her guard down.

The sand is eerily soothing. While it would be expected to be itchy and course, this sand is perfectly smooth and flows almost like a pure liquid. It also seems to hold the right amount of heat to feel quite refreshing, helping cool off without feeling too cold in the arid heat of this place.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Killian lowers his body into the sand, being careful around certain areas as his past dealing with sand can be quite irritating, but the silky smoothness and warmth of the sand catches him off guard. after sitting fully he looks to Mara who's now sitting as well "It's a little weird huh?" Killian will look at some of the other people who were already in the sand bath and see if he can gather clues as to the method used to clean one's self.
(OOC who else of our group is in the sand? Rumble, Dark, Thursday out, Darnell, Mara, Myself are in, what about the twins and Leo?)
"Whew~ Okay! Nope. Can't do it. Least not with the misses over there look'n at us."Rumble says, opening his eyes to give the receptionist a half-hearted glare for a moment before breaking out into a grin. "Just kidding. Tho' I am reminded of somethin' that I... I sorta asked asked, but not really some folks in town." He folds his arms up and hardens his expression. "Are there.. hmm... Have ya not really seen my folk around these parts? Genasi, to be exact. Some of them have fire for hair, others are constantly wet -- eh-its a thing with us, ya see. A little inheritance from the other planes, or as the case was fer me, my grandma bein a Dao. That's, uh, a genie."

The lady shakes her head. "N-no sir. There are elves, and tieflings, but never m-met any quite like y-you two." She stutters, still somewhat awestruck.
Rumble nods and starts stroking his chin. "Now that right there gets me to wondering a little. Ya'd think a place like this would be crawling with a few planar bloods like me and Brother Darkwing here. Then again, mayble there's a whole gaggle of dem in another part of the tower. Eh, Brother?"He asks, nudging Dark's side. "In fact... say, ya know what folk do fer fun around these parts?" He asks the receptionist.

Mara will do what she can to clean herself before she exits the bath and moves to pull her clothing back on. She will forgo the dirtiest of what she has been wearing in order to either discard or clean it as she was able to. Now done in the bath she will go back to join the others that stayed outside of the bath.
After bathing those who did so pull themselves out of the sand. It seems very easy to pull oneself out of the fine grains, none of them left anywhere as they find that all the gore, sweat, and other bits of dirt have miraculously been removed.
As we get together, Dark says “be aware that when I met with the Lord there were others watching and observing the meeting from a distance. I don’t know anything about them but they might join the banquet. Be cautious about what you say. This honor could quickly turn the other direction.”

"Sounds almost like they were some type of royal court. Tho' I'd be surprise if they were otherwise." Rumble admits as much as the group is hopefully on the move again to the Lord, chest in hand unless the twins insist upon carrying it again. "Though either way, I stand by what I said earlier... at least I think it did... *coughs* Anyways! I'll leave the talking to the rest of ya. In fact, if you wanna put forward as some sorta body guard or the like, I'd be fine with it."

Killian pulls himself from the sand and naturally starting the process of brushing off the remains realizes that there is no sand in the "usual" places it would be left to cause any irritation. After putting his tattered clothing back on slinging each Pouch over his shoulders, then putting on the poncho, Holding his quarterstaff in one hand and the tome he still carries from three levels below.
"Hmm, I think a larger pack may be in order soon." He thinks to himself as he finishes getting himself ready.
"Dark I noticed them also standing in the upper section during our first meeting, it is always best to keep a vigilant eye. as usual, let's not go into this with our defenses lowered but also we don't want to seem aggressive as well." Killian waits by the entrance before heading out to be sure the entire group is together.
